My grandma used to make Kool-Aid Cookies when I was younger. I thought they were the coolest ever. Now, I have a new favorite--I love homemade Oreo cookies. Recently, I saw a picture of red, white and blue cookies and thought they'd be fun for the 4th of July. So, combining the Kool-Aid Cookies and homemade Oreos, I made these babies. They're delicious!
Red Cookies:
1 white cake mix
3/4 c shortening
2 eggs
1 package of Cherry Kool-Aid (or any other red Kool-Aid flavor)
Red food coloring (I use Wilton's No-Taste Red food coloring)
Mix all together and bake at 350 for 8 minutes. Don't overbake!
Blue Cookies:
1 white cake mix
3/4 c shortening
2 eggs
1 package of Ice Blue Raspberry Lemonade Kool-Aid
Blue food coloring
Mix all together and bake at 350 for 8 minutes. Don't overbake!
Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 stick of butter
4 cups powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla
Mix all together. Spread on cookie and sandwich with 2nd cookie of opposite color.
Mine were kind of small, but it made 54 sandwiches. (108 individual cookies)
Hope you have a happy and safe Independence Day weekend!

um....these look delish!! Even though the 4th is over, I'm totally making these!
do these need to be kept in the fridge because of the cream cheese filling?

*IF* I have any left over, I do keep them in the fridge :)
